The interior was partially renewed, and the seats were replaced with BF Tourino sports seats. The rear seats were completely removed.
In 1998, a complete engine overhaul was carried out by RUF Automobile GmbH / manufacturer and Porsche specialist in Pfaffenhausen, and all wearing parts were replaced. An original invoice from Ruf for 15,700 DM is available.

The wheel bearing play, handbrake and valves were also adjusted.
